Comments

Rode sitting bull today, 50-70cm HS with lots of thin spots. Expect to hit a shark or two although the skiing is generally quite good. Sun was on the slope all day today, we had lunch without gloves and toques but did not get a temp reading. No cohesive slab noted in the bowl. Lookers right of sitting bull had some soft wind/storm slab although the bowl appeared sheltered. No whumpfing, sluffing, noted on our aspect although we saw there had been recent point releases and recent large sluffs on the opposite side of the highway that were not present yesterday.
